A. A. ANDREYEV AND V. M. MOLOTOV

FOR MEMBERS OF THE POLITBURO OF THE CC RCP(b)

Rudzutak, Andreyev,
Molotov (for members of the Politburo)

I have begun writing a draft of theses on trade unions on the basis of the preliminary sketch by Rudzutak and Andreyev. I have drawn up a detailed plan of 12 theses, but have written only 4 of them so far, since my work is proceeding extremely slowly. I request that the matter be removed from the Politburo agenda for several days, since I think there is no particular need to hurry and it would be desirable to discuss the question more systematically. As soon as I finish the first draft in 3-4 days, or possibly sooner, I shall send it to the members of the commission, and we shall agree with them on whether a meeting is necessary.180
